Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onions in hot butter-oil mixture until translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and thyme; cook and stir until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid from mushrooms is evaporated, about 8 minutes.
